Tero Oilfield Services is a family-owned waste disposal company. The facility has been under the same ownership since operations began in 1997.

The nearest competing commercial disposal companies are 75 kilometers distant, presenting Tero's facility with a huge geographical advantage. The family operating Tero prides itself in extraordinary customer service and competitive disposal rates. They are passionate about their business and have big plans for this facility and its future capabilities.

"The family will carry a 25% ownership in this facility. We are delighted that all of the staff at Tero today will be staying on board and will continue to operate the facility," commented CEO Alex Walsh.
